Explanation:

To answer about the gains from the Compromise of 1877 for Democrats and Republicans:

Democrats:

1. End of Reconstruction in South: Federal troops (who enforced Reconstruction) were withdrawn from Southern states (LA, SC, MS), allowing Democrats to regain political control in the South.
2. Local Autonomy in South: Southern Democrats could restore pre - Reconstruction power structures (e.g., implementing Jim Crow laws, limiting Black political rights) with less federal interference.
3. Economic Concessions: Some Southern - friendly economic policies (e.g., railroad subsidies, internal improvements) were promised.

Republicans:

1. Presidential Victory: Rutherford B. Hayes (Republican) was awarded the disputed 1876 election (he lost the popular vote but won electoral votes via the compromise).
2. Southern Republican Support (Temporary): Hayes promised to respect Southern “home rule,” which was meant to gain some Southern Republican (and moderate Democrat) support, though this was short - lived.
3. Political Stability: The compromise ended the election crisis, stabilizing the federal government after a highly contested election.

We can summarize these gains in the table:
